"This proclamation's breakthrough is that influential Orthodox rabbis across all centers of Jewish life have finally acknowledged that Christianity and Judaism are no longer engaged in a theological duel to the death and that Christianity and Judaism have much in common spiritually and practically. Given our toxic history, this is unprecedented in Orthodoxy." said Rabbi Dr. Eugene Korn, Academic Director of CJCUC.

Matthew 23:37 "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! 38 See! Your house is left to you desolate; 39 for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, 'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!'"

[American Quilter]

Wow, that’s wonderful!

Given both faiths are facing enemies on all sides; i.w., godless fascism/socialism/communism on one side and mohamedism on the other, we’d better combine forces to survive. It’s going to be a long struggle.

[Genoa]

It is wonderful, and now they need to acknowledge Yeshua as Messiah and Lord. That’s my prayer for them and for all! (Orthodox Jews make some of the best believers.) Maranatha!

[Jim Robinson]

America is, always has been and always will be a Judeo-Christian nation.

God bless Israel, God bless America.

[Popman]

Wow...

That’s going to be 4’ headlines in the NYT’S...

O’ Wait...

[SoFloFreeper]

Jesus fulfilled the Torah. Perfectly.

I hope these people of good faith embrace Him.

We can work together to stop the murder of the unborn, protect Israel, defeat ISLAMIC TERRORISM, and crush the idea of cradle to grave government dependence for the individual—as well as the corporate welfare that pervades society and favors the rich.

...2. We recognize that since the Second Vatican Council the official teachings of the Catholic Church about Judaism have changed fundamentally and irrevocably...

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

I vaguely remember something about not yoking oneself with the unbelievers.

[Rock Eye Jack]

I appointed watchmen over you and said, ‘Listen to the sound of the trumpet!’ But you said, ‘We will not listen.’

Jeremiah 6:17

[Greetings_Puny_Humans]

""Now that the Catholic Church has acknowledged the eternal Covenant between G-d and Israel, we Jews can acknowledge the ongoing constructive validity of Christianity as our partner in world redemption, without any fear that this will be exploited for missionary purposes," it says."

Partner in world redemption eh? No thanks.

This could easily pave the way for the sealing of the 144,000 and the acceptance of the two witnesses.

...Spokesmen for the Orthodox Union (the central umbrella organization of the Modern Orthodox movement in the United States), Agudath Israel of America (the main charedi umbrella group), and (IJCIC), which coordinates interfaith activities for the Jewish community, declined to comment on the CJCUC statement.

However, in 2000, the OU did comment on a precursor to the statement titled “Dabru Emet: A Statement on Christians and Christianity,” calling it “fraught with danger” and “uncomfortably relativistic.”

Into the breach, my friends - into the breach!

This is the perfect opportunity to plug a repost from Ann Barnhardt ... There are no coincidences!

This is wonderful. JPII is very happy about this action - knowing that he is in heaven, he is aware.

I have a Jewish brother-in-law. We have had a few good discussions about the need for each other's religions. He agrees. I also asked him if he reads the Torah very much. He said no, so I encouraged him to read it often.

There is no need for us to try and convert each other. God will sort out the faithful hearts of all stripes.

[Mr. M.J.B.]

Nothing has changed.

This is a non-event.

[Sun]

Fantastic. This means more STRENGTH for the moral people of good will.

[Mr. M.J.B.]

However, Rabbi Sandmel cautioned, “We should remember that this statement represents the views of those rabbis who signed it, not Orthodoxy as a whole.”

We have a common enemy determined to destroy both Jews and Christians. This is a promising development.
